Blue Barn Quilts

Sarah has been a follower and regular commenter on my blog from the start! She reached out to me when I mentioned my raffle and offered to participate. Here's a little bit of info about Sarah:

Where do you live, and is it where you are from originally?

Terrell,TX (about 40 miles east of Dallas) although I was born and raised in Dayton, OH

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your family.

My husband and I will celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary in July and our son will turn 8 two days after (also in July) We live on a small 12 acre farm with 1 horse, 1 cow, 2 chickens and 2 dogs and fish and hermit crabs. We just enjoy simple life and family.

When and why did you start business?

I am a self taught quilter. When my son turned 1, I decided his bedding was too babyish, so I went to the store, bought a sewing machine and fabric and made my first quilt. I had never sewn anything before this. Since then, I have made over 30 quilts.

I started sewing as a business approx 1 year ago, but just opened my etsy shop November 2009. Since opening, I have made 4 custom quilts and sold MANY mini notebooks. I started selling on etsy, because I enjoy quilting so much, and this way someone else is paying for my "habit."

Sarah donated one of her popular Mini-Notebooks for our raffle, which is part of the For the Kids basket.
